Well, looks like the links won't open from here. Oh well, we tried. By the way, I have had the best luck here pasting photos directly, not using the "choose files" function. This one was copied and pasted.

No.. That one didn't. I'll try this one. [url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/Wz1rGz1h/20140717-071635.jpg[/img][/url]

Gives you a link, like this. I'll see if the links work from here. [url=https://postimg.cc/47jmZJtg][img]https://i.postimg.cc/47jmZJtg/20140717-071635.jpg[/img][/url]

Maybe try postimages, like they use over at JOT?

Since it appears to be strapped onto the bracket, would it make sense to swap it out for something more easily sourced? Might need to bend some new straps.

Sorry! I was suggesting you had so many trucks you can't get them all inside! I had a friend once who bought a metal building that used to be a machine shop. He finished one corner (2-3 rooms) and left the rest of it as a shop. I always thought that was the ultimate dwelling. I suggested this to my wife...but she did not share my enthusiasm for the idea. I'd love to see more pics of that one in your avatar. Looks nice from what I can see there.

Does sound like ring blow-by, at first thought.

These were actually taken at Brad Wike's show a few years ago. I usually see these guys at most local shows. They are really cool and always let the grandsons look their trucks over thoroughly. Glad to see some more local folks on here. I go through Franklin pretty regularly on my way to Helen (a favorite weekend getaway for me and the wife). We both grew up in Cherokee County (Andrews, Murphy, Hiwassee Dam), and went to Franklin once in a while for one reason or another. Need to see some pictures of your trucks!

Franklin? You know these guys???

What a problem to have!

Actually, Accuride may now only offer those in 24". -
As nice as this one is, it SHOULD be worth a pretty penny. Lots of logic to the school of thought of selling it for high bucks and using that money to buy a tractor closer to what you want. But, it MAY be difficult to find one as nice as what you have. So... But, like the man said, it is YOUR truck. Do what makes you the happiest in the long run.

Pretty sure Accuride, among others, still make 3-piece (no more 2-piece) 20" tube-type Dayton-style rims. Tubeless 22.5" one-piece rims are far better, easier to find, and easier to find tires for. They fit the 20" spiders. "Small Spider". I think the same goes for 22" tube-type and 24.5" tubeless. "Large Spider". -
Agree. The gearing will hurt the initial selling price. Most folks would need to re-gear it. That can cost some bucks.
-
Oh, man. I hate to hear that! All I can do is wish you luck!

Looking at your pics, I can't tell if your floor comes apart or not. If not, that makes it more of a pain. My R600 had the "all hose" option, so it had rubber hoses with braided covers everywhere. When I changed the foot valve, I took that opportunity to swap everything over to DOT tubing and compression fittings. Looked a whole lot cleaner after I did that.

Get to know Bendix! It might be an E2 or E3, if it's a single circuit. I THINK the difference is that the E2 is linear, and the E3 has a light initial pedal that then requires more pressure to go over a certain PSI. But, I may be mis-remembering. Actually, that is correct. See the "Treadle Valves" attachment. Usually, part of the floor comes out to allow access. But yes...it is typically a PITA. E-2.pdfE-3.pdfTreadle Valves.pdf

Anyone recognize this rear end?
doubleclutchinweasel replied to Mandrewoid's topic in Driveline and Suspension
I wondered when/who was going to do that!!! -
They say it’s a small world. that power line was the last clearing job I got to work with my dad before he died. Have lots of memories about that one.

Looks like this truck (from the Mahan collection) has been the subject of a conversation here before. Look about half-way down, where B66 is helping with the serial number.

Weaubleau! You're just about 35-40 miles south of Warsaw. Spent one hot-ass summer in Warsaw in '79, clearing a power line RoW from the site of the Truman Dam to a substation in Clinton. They were still calling it the "Kaysinger" dam at the time, because of the location.

Mine was changed when I got it. Like everybody said, it had a 1-wire alternator with integral regulator. Battery cables swapped to keep the starter running the right direction. The only issue was the amp meter. It was a single stud type and was grounded through the body to the dash. I swapped in a 2-stud model so I could reverse the polarity. As far as I know, that was it. All the lights worked. The fuel gauge didn't work, but i had a hardwood dowel "dipstick" under the seat! I agree with Paul and Larry...just reverse the polarity on the truck and be done with it. Not that difficult.

I am pretty sure that tractor (or one like it) is in my "Mack: Driven for a Century" book. Think it says "Big Snort", or something like that, on the hood. Will look that up tonight. -
There are enough guys on here to help you do pretty much ANYTHING. I doubt there is too much that SOMEBODY here has not already done.
